WASHINGTON – Senators Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) and Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) led colleagues in writing a letter to Amy Karpel, Chair of the U.S. International Trade Commission, pushing back against efforts by foreign nations to manipulate and undercut the American rebar industry and its workers.
Specifically, the letter requests that the U.S. International Trade Commission review antidumping (Ad) and countervailing duty (CVD) cases against Algeria, Bulgaria, Egypt, and Vietnam and ensure our trade laws are fully enforced.
“American companies and workers can out compete companies from any other country. However, American rebar producers deserve to compete on a fair and level playing field. As your important work on these investigations continues, we urge you to carefully review the evidence presented and fully enforce our trade laws. It is imperative that unfairly traded imports do not undermine American rebar producers and the thousands of workers they support,” the senators wrote.
In addition to Senators Gallego and Capito, Senators Jim Justice (R-WV), Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), Michael Bennet (D-CO), and Katie Britt (R-AL) also signed the letter.
